Jump to:📋 What do we need? 🔪 How to make this turkey bolognese 🍽️ What to serve it with 📺 Watch how to make it 🍲 More leftover turkey recipes Leftover Turkey Bolognese 💬 Reviews After all the feasting at Christmas, I usually crave curry or pasta in the following days. Of course we still have loads of turkey left, so that’s my staple meat for the next few days....

Terrific to throw on the BBQ – of pan fry them if it’s not grilling season. They brown nicely on the outside and are extra juicy on the inside thanks to the marinade! Grilled Pork Chops – Marinade This lemon garlic marinade is SO GOOD with grilled pork chops – though also excellent with chicken and lamb so I’ve have notes for marinating times and cooking directions for those too....

Once you master the technique, this is such a lovely lunch to make. You can fill the sandwich with lots of different goodies! This is by far one of my favorite lunches to make. Now that I have some practice, it’s so easy, and I love that I can make so many variations. In the summertime, I make it almost daily! Ingredients You’ll only need a few simple ingredients to make this tasty lunch....

“OMG, it actually has layers in it!”, my friend exclaimed when I served up this lasagna for lunch today. YES, this does! Have you seen one-pot lasagnas floating around on the internet? I think Martha Stewart started the craze. Here’s the thing though. I am yet to see a “one pot” lasagna that actually looks like a lasagna. None of the ones I have seen actually have layers. They are more like a pasta bake with a delicious mess of broken up lasagna sheets mixed up with the filling and sauce....

It’s a delicious and seemingly fancy restaurant-level dish that is in fact very easy to prepare, making it the ideal choice for a weeknight dinner. Salmon is a huge favorite of mine. It’s wonderfully fatty and so very flavorful. I usually prefer it to mild white fish, although this baked cod is excellent too. In this easy recipe, perfect for a weeknight dinner, the butter and sage impart wonderful flavors to the already-delicious fish....

So tell me, are you in the ‘I can’t eat chocolate for breakfast’ camp? Or are you in my camp? I’m not talking about a 1kg bar of Dairy Milk with my morning coffee (but who am I kidding here, I would so eat that for breakfast if someone put it in front of me). I’m talking about a little bit of dark chocolate, mixed into an oaty, peanut-ty cookie....

I love that it’s socially acceptable to eat cake at 10:30am and call it brunch. It makes my cake addiction almost sound posh 🙂 If you don’t eat it all at once, you’ll have enough left for afternoon tea too. Double posh! As a blogger and freelancer, I often find I have boundaries to work within - whether it’s a pasta recipe for a brand, an easy picnic recipe for a website or a seasonal recipe for Kitchen Sanctuary (usually start on these at least a couple of weeks before the season starts)....

So I may have been slightly drunk when I took these photos. Just being honest here….. A hot sunny day, the BBQ was out and I was testing out those prosecco popsicles and photographing (aka sampling) a Dark & Stormy or two. In my slightly tiddly (at that point) state, I decided it would be a great idea to mix the leftover prosecco with the spicy ginger beer from the cocktail....

This is a reader-favourite recipe included by popular demand in my debut cookbook “Dinner”! My Swiss Army knife of Stir Fry Sauces! Restaurant Secret: you know when you go to a packed Asian restaurant or take out during lunch hour and you’re handed a plate of fresh-out-of-the-wok stir fry 5 minutes after ordering? I hate to disappoint you, but the cooks standing over the flames aren’t throwing together 10 ingredient sauce mixes for every single dish……....

Now available: the Slow Cooker version of this recipe with a Garlic Butter Gravy! Roast turkey breast The phrase “This side dish recipe is so good, it will steal the show!” is thrown around all too much, and I’m guilty of it myself. But for those of you responsible for the main event – here is a turkey against which no side, no matter how epic, stands a chance. That herby garlic butter…....

Sweet potato is probably my most underused vegetable, and I have no idea why. It has superfood status, it’s packed with nutrition and it’s a potato. Carb Monster, right here. Potato Girl. Yet to meet a form of potato – sweet or regular – that I don’t love. That’s going to change in the coming months. I actually love sweet potato, it’s just never made my weekly shopping basket. Nowadays, I always have it and I’ve been making some great quick meals using sweet potato rather than regular ones....

Breakfast Casserole Bacon + sausage + egg + milk + cheese + potatoes + bread does not = nutritious low fat energy breakfast for every day. But it DOES equal DELICIOUS!!! This is my “make-ahead-feed-an-army” version of a country breakfast fry up that is one of my favourite things to order when I go out for brunch (especially if I had a few too many champers the night before). A ginormous plate loaded with eggs, sausage, bacon, potatoes and toast on the side....

How the heck did it get to Friday and I haven’t even posted a recipe yet this week? I’m so sorry guys! I started off with the income report - posted on Tuesday instead of Monday because it took me ages to write. Then I had every intention of posting a Thai chicken and rice one-pot meal on Wednesday or Thursday. However, when it came down to it, I just couldn’t post it....

If you’re after a traditional German schnitzel, use pork. Or for Austrian, use veal! Schnitzel I love all things fried and my bottom hates me for it. And of all deep fried things, Schnitzel is very high up on the list. I certainly had more than my fair share during my travels in Austria!! Despite my love of all things deep fried, doing it at home is rare, mainly because I have a thing about “wasting” oil....

“This is one of those dinners I pulled together when my refrigerator was dismally empty.” I’m more of a white meat girl than a steak girl. So on the rare occasions that I cook steak, I feel like I can justify investing in a good cut so I splurged on a great piece of sirloin – about 2.5 cm / 1 inch. I hadn’t actually planned to make steak for dinner....

A really quick and super easy recipe for you today. You might know that I absolutely adore Thai food - be it Thai Sweet Potato Skins, Thai fishcakes, Thai chicken or this Thai Prawn Salad. One of my absolute favourites is a simple Thai green curry though. Although I often make sauces from scratch, Thai green curry paste is something I generally buy. They vary quite a lot in heat, flavour and calories - but my favourite is the Thai Taste one....

This is a cookbook exclusive recipe! This recipe is exclusive to my debut cookbook Dinner which includes a how-to video for every recipe. Just scan the QR code! Just to explain…. I know, it’s confusing! You’re so used to getting recipes on my website – there’s over 1,200 of them, after all. And here you are looking at a tasty recipe video and I haven’t provided the recipe. 🙀 I’m not just doing this to torture you, I promise....

Serve it with jollof rice, roasted broccoli or Parmentier potatoes. Easy cream cheese stuffed chicken breasts There is something so good about this stuffed chicken that even your fussiest eaters wouldn’t say no to. This easy chicken breast was a winner and I had clean plates from each member of the family. The two vegetables I have managed to feed my children are spinach and broccoli. That said, my eldest turned to me recently that she now only wants broccoli in her chicken sandwiches....

This wonderfully flavorful curry is ready in about 30 minutes, and you can double the recipe if you’d like since leftovers are excellent too. My late father-in-law introduced me to this delicious Thai-inspired recipe. He loved Asian food, and always experimented with new recipes. When he served us this curry, it was so good, so tasty and velvety, that I immediately requested the recipe. Sweet and generous as always, he happily gave it to me....
